South Korea’s eighth-largest conglomerate GS Group has donated 4 billion won ($3.67 million) to the Community Chest of Korea, in a gesture to help the socially vulnerable, the group said Wednesday.
The business group has been making year-end donations to the charity organization since 2005 and the latest contribution has brought the accumulated total amount to 60 billion won.
“We hope to offer help and comfort to those who are going through difficult times due to the COVID-19 crisis,” the group said in a release.
The energy and retail conglomerate also vowed to make the best use of its affiliates’ professional capacities to carry out sustainable activities to care for society and ultimately help the vulnerable stand on their own feet.
